I think the idle speed only rule for all boats is the perfect solution for all users of Cowan Lake. The sail club needs to get over the idea that they are the only people who care about beauty and peace.

Big motor boats own all the lakes, making their waves, thrashing about. Smaller boars need somewhere to go without being trashed by big motors. The trolling part would last about a week maybe,you all know you'd start pushing the limits as soon as your in pinch. Talk about cost of smaller motor, try upgrading and see the cost, point is its a 2 way road!

I live 5 minutes from Cowan Lake, but my boating & recreational boating dollars go to larger lakes due to the HP restrictions on Cowan. The 9.9 HP limit no longer makes any sense on any lake, especially Cowan. Since the opponents want to cite the close availability of Caesar Creek Lake, they should take into consideration all the "No Wake" zones there which larger HP boats use all the time with no problems or issues.

This program will increase visitors and revenue for the local businesses of Clinton County. I definitely will visit Cowan Lake more often.

I attended the first meeting but will. Be unable to attend the 12-29meeting I am very much in favor of the idle speed or no wake for boats over 9.9 hp as I have stated in emails to the ONDR . This is the only correct solution to using Ohio water resources ..thank you

Most of the 9.9HP 14 foot jon boats run pretty fast(way faster than my Ranger can idle speed). Most of the people with 9.9 HP motors are actually running 15-20 hp motors with 9.9 covers or decals,,,,,,,,

Many of us with big motors would greatly appreciate the idle proposal so that we can fish for crappie on this lake. Thank you.

My 18 1/2 ft Skeeter with a 150hp motor is quieter at idle than a 10 hp at full speed. And it makes less wake. Eastwood lake is smaller than Cowan and it has a 35 mph speed limit on even days of the week, idle speed on odd.

All of Ohio lakes should be open , to any size motor ,just regulate the speed which ever they decide on ,no restriction ,5-10 meh, or idle speed.it would be a step in the right direction,,many 10 HP lakes don't need to be ,need a new study on rating all the lakes, I know there are some lake we don't want , skiing and jet skis , who about making a restriction on usage, like fishing only , on these smaller lakes...
